Abstract excerpt
The Survival of Motor Neurons (SMN) is the disease gene of spinal muscular atrophy. We have previously established a genetic system based on the chicken pre-B cell line DT40, in which expression of SMN protein is regulated by tetracycline, to study the function of SMN in vivo. Depletion of SMN protein is lethal to these cells. Here we tested the functionality of mutant SMN proteins by determining their capacity...
